16 Dec 10 - 10:26 PM (#3055278) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dylan Bay? / Dillan Bay (Gordon Bok) From: Jim Dixon To make matters worse, at Allmusic.com, which is usually reliable (I should say, about as reliable as the record companies they get their information from) spells it DILLON BAY. Folk-Legacy Records, which publishes Gordon Bok's album "Seal Djiril's Hymn," which contains the song, spells it DILLAN BAY on their web site. I've been looking at several Gazetteers, and the only similar name I can find is Dillon Bay, which is part of Dillon Reservoir, adjacent to the town of Dillon, Colorado. |

17 Dec 10 - 01:27 AM (#3055332) Subject: DT Corr: Dillan Bay (Gordon Bok) From: Joe Offer Here are the lyrics form the Folk-Legacy songbook, Time and the Flying Snow: Songs of Gordon Bok. The lyrics are just slightly different from what's in the Digital Tradition. The book spells the bay "Dillan," but doesn't tell where the bay is. DILLAN BAY (Gordon Bok) Dillan Bay, laddie-o Dillan-dau, laddie-ay Dillan Bay, laddie-o All the boats are gone Gone away, laddie-o Gone awa', laddie-ay Gone away, laddie-o With their topsails high Topsail high, laddie-o Topsail low, laddie-ay Topsail high, laddie-o When the wind's away Wind's away, laddie-o Wind's awa', laddie-ay Wind's away, laddie-o Down in Dillan Bay Dillan Bay, laddie-o Dillan-dau, laddie-ay Dillan Bay, laddie-o All the boats are gone recorded by Gordon Bok Copyright Folk Legacy Records, 1977 @sailor filename[ DILLBAY TUNE FILE: DILLBAY CLICK TO PLAY SOF The book and the DT don't go right out and say it, but it appears to me that Gordon Bok is the songwriter. -Joe- |

17 Dec 10 - 05:38 PM (#3055911) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dylan Bay? / Dillan Bay (Gordon Bok) From: Joe_F I had always vaguely imagined "dau" to be Welsh, and therefore Dillan to be in Wales. I see that there is a Welsh word "dau", but it means "two", which does not make sense in the context; what is more, Google does not find a Dillan in Wales. I do not have to make sense of a song to like it, but I suppose it would be properly respectful to do so if possible. |

17 Dec 10 - 06:40 PM (#3055960) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dylan Bay? / Dillan Bay (Gordon Bok) From: Don Firth Try "Dillon Bay." There's a Dillon Bay in West Australia, near Bremer Bay, facing the Southern Ocean. Dunno if this is what Gordon had in mind. Actually, the one picure I saw if it makes it look more like a bit of recreational beach than a seaport. Mebbe one of our Aussie confreres can enlighten us. Don Firth |

If you do, ask him for his story behind the song." Joe Offer ****************************************** As promised... Gordon tells me he wrote "Dillan Bay" long before he'd ever heard of Bob Dylan, and it was probably associated with a dream. He doesn't know where his Dillan Bay might be, and he's definitely never run aground there! Maeve |
